My Monsters
"Shit," Buffy swore. Her key didn't fit in her patio door anymore. "They really don't want us back."
She sighed and started the climb the trellis a bit further. She had to see Dawn, to make sure that she was alright. She jumped and landed on the balcony above with a thud.
Buffy knocked on the door leading to Dawn's bedroom sharply. She didn't even wait for a reply before opening the door and marching inside
Dawn was lying on her back on the bed, starring up at the ceiling. She didn't even look over when Buffy shut the door behind her.
"Dawn?" No reply.
"Dawn?" She peered into her eyes. Dawn smiled dreamily.
"Hey."
"Dawnie, what is wrong with you?"
"My monster's behind you," she replied in the same dreamy voice, ignoring the question.
Buffy span round as an instant reflex; there was nothing there.
"You can't see it," Dawn laughed. "You didn't take it."
Buffy's face fell. "What did you take?"
The eleven year old stood up and started dancing to the Iron Maiden song Run to the Hills which was playing in the background.
"What did you take?" Buffy yelled, suddenly not caring if her parents heard. "you promised me, and Spike, that you wouldn't take any more drugs!"
"I did?" dawn wrinkled her nose up. "Oh yeah, well you weren't here. Nobody was here."
"I wanted to be here -"
"You can do anything you want," Dawn butted in, still dancing to the music. "That's what my monster told me and it's always here. Whether I want it or- "
Dawn froze. She starred at the blank space in front of her. Frantically, she started swiping the air.
"Go away!" She screamed. "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Buffy starred in shock, what the hell was Dawn doing? It wasn't coke. This time it was mushrooms or acid. She grabbed hold of her younger sister and span her round
"You are coming with me!" Buffy ordered.
"Ok little pixie!" Dawn followed Buffy down the stairs, skipping happily.
There was no way that buffy was going to risk climbing down the trellis with Dawn like this. She'd have to risk running into her parents.
